Once a muscle or joint is injured, regular exercise is typically the key to rehabilitation. But when pain limits a body's ability to exercise, the healing process takes longer. Biofreeze products help break this pain cycle, by relieving pain through a method known as Gate Control, or gating.. In the gating process, menthol acts to stimulate specific sensory receptors in the skin, thereby blocking other receptors from sending pain signals to the brain.
A lack of fiber in the diet is a big problem for constipation in dogs, dog loose stool and diarrhea. Dog stool should be moist, firm and free of blood and worms that resemble pieces of rice in the stool. Itâs normal to see a trace amount of blood in dog stool occasionally.
In hematochezia, the blood will look fresh and bright red, which means that the blood in the dog's stool comes most probably from the lower intestines, the colon or the rectum. Hematochezia in dogs can be a sign of a minor problem, but it can also point to a more severe disorder. In melena, the dog's stool looks black, which means the blood is digested and comes from the upper intestinal tract. Melena is more serious than a periodic case of hematochezia.
